[Bug libc/5607] New: netdb.h should not declare herror and hstrerror by default

["bruno at clisp dot org" <sourceware-bugzilla at sourceware dot org>]

POSIX:2001 does not specify the function herror and hstrerror in <netdb.h>,
see http://www.opengroup.org/susv3/basedefs/netdb.h.html

Therefore IMO their declaration in glibc's <netdb.h> should be enclosed in
#if __USE_GNU
or a similar conditional (maybe __USE_BSD or __USE_MISC?).
